Not in today's society because people want an easy way out and don't want
to deal with hard work or discomfort.

Let's see, most of the obese people I know are pretty hard workers. I am
sure they would be amused to hear you say they aren't. Evaluating someone
elses experience as discomfort is the type of arrogance I have come to
expect from you.

Speak for yourself (pot-kettle here). I have decades of firsthand
experience as an obese person and pleny of empathy and sympathy for those
who are trying to do something about it. What I don't care for are FFID's
like yourself who decide to blame the world and your genetics for your
choices. If you prefer the taste of food over being a healthy weight,
that's your CHOICE.

You're picking a fight with the wrong person here. I've spent the last 20
years dealing with at eating disorder that pretty much dominated my life. I
understand what it is like to feel like you're out of control and can't help
yourself probably more than you ever have from reading your articles. I
didn't just wake up cured one day. It took years of serious work that was
more than mildly inconvenient. Not everyone is willing to do that. It
doesn't make them a bad person but they're no victim either. So take your
"macho" crap and shove it.
